This, my friend, is a very thought-provoking poem. I love juxtaposition and duality and this line is an instant winner…and a mighty fine ending in my humble opinion:
“…she was a weaver but she had / a witches touch...”
This duality, for me, implies both the skills of a weaver (creation, mending) and also something potentially risky (or risqué?) and magical about the woman in the poem..That is not meant, necessarily, in a negative way, either. In fact, no value added to that ar all. Also, depending on how we define “witch”, witches could also be healers, etc. Anyway, like the woman of the poem, this write was charming! 🌹👏

There’s a fable I am slow to recall so this is a notice of delay , an excuse of sorts that shifts the blame for my dereliction to this amateur masseuse who BTW once traveled the Silk Road to illicitly acquire golden needles. Hmmm, perhaps her waxy gloves should have raised suspicion?

I love reading your poetry, you write from experience and heart. And you do it so good! This is another well written piece. Lesson learned maybe?

Unlike most, your poems provoke a great deal of thought. I would call them mystical and like nature itself hide their secrets beneath their beauty, Enigmas of wonder and I like Tobani\'s response that there may be rain on the other side of the rainbow we are attracted to and buying a car with a new paint job does not gurantee its performance. I find that I spend a good deal of time reflecting on not only the beauty of your poems structure but hidden meaning. Lovely worth a Fav

A very poetic way of someone venting their anger and pain, enjoyed reading this ( not because of the suffering ), but the clever wat it is written,

The complexity and different layers of your poems astounds me, They mirror the complexity of human relations and because of this require several readings just as do human relations themselves. As each layer is peeled away another is seen beneath. This poem is no less and you attract the reader\'s attention with the title that reveals what lies beneath the skin. Another wonderful poem

This poem, as many of yours do, provoked a grate deal of thought and deliberation. Somehow you have a way of sparking what dry kindling lays stored in the brain and fanning it into flames. Nicely done
